“…An increase of LAB count could be explained by the physiological growth of LAB and the adequate supply of molasses as a substrate. Homofermentative LAB isolated in the tropical area normally could grow well under pH less than 4, and during the first stage of fermentation, while LAB could grow fast with an adequate amount of WSC [8,43]. L. casei TH14 was one of homo-fermentative LAB which may grow well under pH 4 when compared to other epiphytic LAB and produced high lactic acid concentration with lowering the pH value.…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus, cellulase, and molasses on chemical composition, fermentation qualities, and microorganism count of sugarcane bagasse silage after 30-days fermentation. The treatments were arranged according to a factorial arrangement (2 × 2 × 2) + 1, in a complete randomized design. The first factor consisted of two levels of Lactobacillus casei TH14 (TH14, 0 and 0.05 g/kg fresh matter; the second factor consisted of two levels of cellulase enzyme (C, 0 and 10 4 U/kg fresh matter); and the third factor consisted of two levels of molasses (M, 0 and 5 g/ 100 mL distilled water). A treatment (+1) referred to the use of rice straw without any treatments. The result showed that dry matter increased by 4% and neutral detergent fiber decreased by 2% of sugarcane bagasse when ensiled as a combination of additives as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. The pH and ammonia nitrogen were significantly dropped to 3.5 and 2.3 g/kg dry matter. Furthermore, lactic acid was increased by 64% when compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria count was increased by 28% as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. Based on this experiment, fermenting with L. casei TH14, cellulase, and molasses in combination resulted in the promotion of the best qualities of sugarcane bagasse silage.

“…In this context, we started a project to use SMS as roughage for cattle. It has been reported that the silage containing SMS can be used as a roughage for ruminants [3]- [5], although some adverse effects, such as reduced rumination and chewing activity, were observed [6], which may be because of the shorter fiber length of SMS used in this study: it is well known that there is a positive relationship between fiber length and ruminating time or total chewing time [7], [8]. If this assumption holds true, the above problem may be solved when materials having longer fiber length are used as base materials.…”

In the present study, with a final goal of using spent mushroom substrates as roughage for cattle, mushroom cultivation experiment has been conducted on Flammulina velutipes using fermented sweet corn stover (FS) cut at the length of 13mm and 30mm as a substrate material (FS13 and FS30, respectively), and productivity and eating quality of fruiting bodies were evaluated. A total of nine substrates were prepared: control (composed mainly of ground corncob and rice bran), four FS13 groups (24, 48, 73 and 100% of rate of replacement with corncob, on dry matter basis) and four FS30 groups (the same replacement rates as in FS13 groups). The cultivation period increased in FS13 groups comparing with FS30 groups (P<0.05) and did with increasing replacement rate (P<0.01). Fruiting body yield was not affected by the length of FS, but increased gradually with increasing replacement rate, although decreased values were found when the rate was reached to 100%. Eating quality of the fruiting bodies was affected neither by length of FS nor by replacement rate. In conclusion, corncob can be replaced up to 73% with FS without showing any negative effect on productivity of F. velutipes.  Index Terms-agricultural waste, corncob, Flammulina velutipes, mushroom, mushroom substrate, sweet corn stover

“…At present, much research has already been conducted on the processing and usage of SMS [8,9]. SMS is considered to be an animal feed with nutritional value, rich in polysaccharides, vitamins, and trace mineral elements [10], which can be easily digested and absorbed by ruminants such as cattle [11] and sheep [12]. We speculate that the sika deer, which is a ruminant animal, could also digest SMS better.…”

At present, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a waste resource that is producing a pollution problem in China, and which has some use as animal feed or fertilizer, has not been assessed as a feed for deer. The purpose of this study is to expand the feed of male sika deer and reduce the feeding cost by using the waste resource of SMS. The 10% concentrated supplement was replaced with SMS and the feed intake, apparent digestibility, blood index and velvet production of male sika deer were measured. As the results showed, compared to the control group, the substitution of SMS for 10% of the concentrate supplement decreased the concentration of IgA (p < 0.01), replacing 10% concentrated supplement with SMS of Pleurotus ostreatus (SMS-MP) reduced the intake of organic matter (OMI) and improved the digestibility of ether extract (EE), while replacing 10% concentrated supplement with SMS of Flammulina velutipes (SMS-MF) had no effect on apparent nutrient digestibility, feed intake, velvet antler production, and biochemical indexes. In conclusion, SMS had no effect on serum biochemical indexes and the ratio of the feed weight of the deer supplement to the weight of velvet antler (p > 0.05). At the same time, SMS could reduce the feed consumption and improve the economy by using SMS as a waste resource.
